Oil climbs on supply concerns

Oil prices rose for a third straight session on Monday, buoyed by forecasts of a widening supply deficit in the fourth quarter after Saudi Arabia and Russia extended cuts and by optimism about a recovery in demand in China.

Brent crude futures rose 71 cents, or 0.8%, to $94.64 a barrel by 0622 GMT while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures were at $91.55 a barrel, up 78 cents, or 0.9%.

“China’s stimulus policy, resilient U.S. economic data, and OPEC+’s ongoing output cuts are the bullish factors that support the oil market’s upside movement,” CMC Markets analyst Tina Teng said, referring to a reserve ratio cut by China’s central bank last week to boost liquidity and support its economy.
